I am not talking about news rundowns...

 

I am talking about promos that tell you the exact time a story wil air...

 

For Example:

There was a promo at aroung 2PM today that ran---- "Tomorrow at 7:17am on the CW11 Morning News..."

 

They have been doing this thing for a while now. Any other stations?

That is quite a first, promos that tell the exact time now. I have not witnessed that. It could be a CW11 thing...

Of course you are referring to WPIX, and welcome to the forums, but please use call letters to identify stations, okay? ^\../^ (KPLR and KSTW are also known as CW11, but only WPIX has morning news of any kind...)

 

And I know there is a D.C. station that does this...I can't recall if it's WRC or WJLA, though.

Well, KDKA used to tease what they called the "5:45 Special Report," a warmed over package from the previous night's (or previous week, outside sweeps) feature, like an investigation or a consumer report.

Has anyone checked if they actually aired the piece at exactly the specified time? I mean c'mon 7:17am, that's too precise.

Yeah, barring any breaking news or other setbacks, KDKA usually did.

Such as uncontrollable tapping to the sig?

Yes, perhaps V-Man has tourette's?

 

That or just a severe case of being retarded.

 

Probably caused by all the lead paint in the severly-in-need-of-remodeling "office" he works in.
